Q: Hide table row where radio button is selected after form submit I have table that is contained in form.  The table is built from a CF loop where I have assigned each row ID the NumberID in the sql table.  I have a submit button that performs an jquery ajax submit.  I need to hide the row that was submitted instead of doing a page reload.
    <form id="unsortedTable" >
    <input type="submit"   id="makeParentButton" value="Make Parent">

      <cfloop query="nonAffiliated">

            <input type="radio"  name="NumberID" value="#NumberID#">

      </cfloop>

 </form>

Then I have the JavaScript that triggers when the submit is performed.
    $(document).ready(function(e) {
    $("#unsortedTable").submit(sendForm);

    });

    function sendForm() {
       var row = $(this).closest('tr');
        $.post('handlers/formHandler.cfm',
        $("#unsortedTable").serialize(),function(data,status){
        $("#unsortedTable")[0].reset();

        row.hide(); //This is just a guess
    });
    return false

 }

Everything works except I can't get that submitted row to hide().

A: Unless the form is within the table row you are trying to hide, $(this).closest('tr') will not find the row. You probably thought $(this) does refer to the button clicked, but you are using a subit handler on the form, not a click handler on the button.
You might want to find the row a different way, either by id or by finding the button first:
$('#rowId').hide();

or
$('#buttonId').closest('tr').hide();

EDIT:
After re-reading your question more carefully, I realized that you don't want the submit button to be hidden, but the radio button.  For that you could do something like this:
$(this).find('input:radio:checked').closest('tr').hide();

54th Annual Governor's Conservation Achievement Award Winners
The North Carolina Wildlife Federation has announced the winners of the 54th Annual Governor's Conservation Achievement Awards. The full list of award winners and categories is below.
This year's winners are exceedingly notable conservation devotees who work for wildlife from elk to amphibians to fish and marine resources. They are water quality advocates, land stewardship champions and leaders in the preservation of unique ecosystems. The award winners include agency professionals, elected officials, academia, non-profit leaders and organizations rising to the challenge. Call us at (919) 833-1923 to reserve your seat at the Awards banquet.
The North Carolina Wildlife Federation first presented its conservation awards in 1958. "Each year we are amazed at the commitment and creativity of North Carolina citizens in protecting wildlife and wild places," stated T. Edward Nickens, NCWF Awards Committee Chair. "Many of our award winners tell us their Governor's Conservation Achievement Award represents the high point of their career—whether they are full-time scientists or full-time volunteer conservationists."
These prestigious awards are the highest natural resource honors given in the state. By recognizing, publicizing, and honoring these conservation leaders—young and old, professional and volunteer—the North Carolina Wildlife Federation hopes to inspire all North Carolinians to take a more active role in protecting the natural resources of our state.
Award winners are nominated by the citizens of North Carolina and decided upon by a committee of scientists, environmental educators, and conservation activists. "This awards program brings together a remarkably diverse group of conservationists to highlight the 'good news' about wildlife conservation in North Carolina," said Nickens, "Our primary focus is to applaud and honor these people who work so hard for wildlife and the air, water, land, that they and all of us depend upon".

His expertise has furthered the sustainable management and conservation of longleaf pine forest ecosystems.
Sportsman of the Year – Allen Gant, Burlington
A lifelong hunter and angler, Gant spearheaded an effort that took a new approach to marine resource conservation. Rather than fighting over how to re-allocate a shrinking resource, he supports reforms that would grow the number of fish for all by taking a conservation based approach to fisheries management with a focus on the economic benefits. Through his efforts, the debate on fisheries management reform has shifted to conservation, providing a possible path to resolving this decades-long dispute.
Wildlife Conservationist of the Year: Jeff Hall, Greenville
Hall is coordinator of the Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation program as a biologist with N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, and served as president of the N.C. Herpetological Society. Respected for his work on ephemeral pool creation for Carolina Gopher frogs and bog turtle swamps, and for research on the last remaining populations of eastern Diamondback rattlers in the state, Hall also excels in leading citizen science research.
Conservationist of the Year: Richard Hamilton, Raleigh
A life-long wildlife and conservation giant with a huge impact on North Carolina's landscape for more than four decades, Hamilton served North Carolina's wildlife agency as Statewide Wildlife Research Project Leader, Chief of the Division of Game, and Chief of the Division of Inland Fisheries before his promotion to Deputy Director in 1986 and subsequent role as Executive Director from 2004 until retirement in 2007. Hamilton has worked for all wildlife species, game and nongame alike, and now advocates for them and for sporting and outdoor heritage issues.
Detailed award winner information and images will be provided after the September 9th banquet at which award winners will receive their certificate and handsome trophy.

Innovative Startup CPRWrap Founded by Black Female Inventor Looking to Save Lives
Approximately 356,000 hospital cardiac arrests happen in the U.S. every year with 250,000 of those happening in the home. CPRWrap Founder and CEO Felicia Jackson has created a practical and easy-to-use tool to help save lives if that situation arises.
Chattanooga, TN — Innovative medical startup CPRWrap is thrilled to announce its national launch with Founder and CEO Felicia Jackson at the helm. CPRWrap is an all-in-one, disposable CPR template that protects and guides any non-medical responder during respiratory and cardiac emergencies. CPRWrap has an attached one-way valve mouth barrier, visual hand placements, and simple CPR instructions embossed directly on the template.
CRPWrap is available in three different sizes for infants (ages 12 months and under), children (ages 1 – 8), and adults (ages 8 and up). The product is $14.99 per kit but currently on sale for $9.99. CPRWrap Kits are currently available for purchase online at www.cprwrap.com.
Jackson invented CPRWrap after a terrifying near-death event when her two-year-old son experienced a choking incident and required CPR. At the time, Jackson was working in a hospital and certified in CPR but the traumatic nature of the situation made her freeze. Luckily Jackson's husband jumped into action and was able to save their son's life, but this made her realize if she could forget her training during an emergency, what about the countless people in the world that's not trained in CPR. Thus, CPRWrap was born.
"I started CPRWrap because I did not want another person to feel helpless when someone's life hung in the balance," said Jackson. "My vision for CPRWrap extends so far that I can no longer see where it ends. A few years ago my life consisted of taking care of my family – now the world is my family and I have much work to do. Everyone deserves a chance to live."
Even people experienced in CPR can forget their training in stressful situations. CPRWrap makes it possible for anyone to effectively perform CPR at a moment's notice and be protected while doing so. With over 20 years of medical experience in acute inpatient rehab, outpatient care, and home health care, Jackson is now applying her knowledge to make performing CPR less intimidating and accessible to everyone.
CPRWrap has already partnered with CHI Memorial Hospital Cardiac Rehab, HCA Parkridge Hospital, Chattanooga Police Department, Hamilton County Dept. of Education, Chattanooga State College, Maryland Diaper Bank, School Health, and many more.
Since the soft launch of CPRWrap in 2016, Jackson has presented two TEDx talks, auditioned for Shark Tank, won CHA Startup of the Year in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and won Urban League's Emerging Business of the Year award. CPRWrap has been featured in Forbes, Inc. Magazine, Business Insider, JEMS Medical Magazine, Hypepotamus, Black Enterprise Magazine, and many more. In 2019, CPRWrap was part of Austin-based startup accelerator program Techstars, where only 1% of the companies that apply are accepted.
"I had been told 'no' so many times, I could not fathom a prestigious accelerator like Techstars wanting me or my company," said Jackson. "Techstars saw the fighter within me and what I could accomplish if given a chance. All you need is passion, purpose, and a drive to execute your ideas to get things done."
More About CPRWrap and Felicia Jackson:
Chattanooga based startup CPRWrap, founded by Felicia Jackson, recently won the Nashville Entrepreneur Center pitch competition, Pitch for Good: Black Founders Edition, Up and Running Stage.
Jackson is also raising capital for her company, CPRWrap to help grow her team and solidify many more partnerships in the U.S. and abroad. " I want to empower every man, woman, and child to do the most basic, unselfish thing a person can do…Save A Life." For more information, visit CPRWrap.com

Forest Green on the Political Scene: What does it mean? Read below.
Above: IVANKA TRUMP (3rd from left), daughter to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, stands with her family at the Lincoln Memorial on January 19, 2017.
Which Color in this photo stands out the most to you? Most likely Ivanka's Forest Green coat-dress ensemble. Wardrobe choices by politicians and politicians' family members are almost always significant for high-profile political events, nearly always subject for tabloid fodder and discussion of historic fashion significance among political pundits and fashion designers alike. Forest Green seems an unusual choice in a world where Red and Blue hold the most significance for a political audience, so why did she choose Forest Green? Here's my interpretation of this Color's significance amidst world-changing political events of 2017.
Forest Green is a Color of Commitment and Longevity, a nod to the resurgence of Patriarchy in American Politics, and a renewal of interest in the importance of *the Father* in the American household. Ivanka wearing Forest Green is a subtle nod to her close relationship with and support of her father on the eve of his inauguration as the 45th President of the United States. While the U.S. has yet to elect its first female president, Forest Green may also be a subtle message to the population that "it is not yet time for the country to shift from Patriarchy to Matriarchy."
Finally, Forest Green symbolizes the establishment of the Trump family name into the annals of American History which has, more often than not, been dominated by powerful families with extensive domestic and global influence. Winning this election effectively anchored the Trumps as the "Kennedy family of the 21st Century," with potential for long-term presence in and influence upon American Politics.
When Forest Green appears in a Color Card Reading, depending on question and context, it usually symbolizes masculine energy and potential for longevity and commitment within a relationship or co-creative endeavor.
The opposite of Patriarchy is not Matriarchy, but Oligarchy.

The Morning After: Kentucky vs. Houston
March 30, 2019 March 30, 2019 ~ Tristan Pharis	~ Leave a comment
Take a deep breath and check your heart rate.
Tyler Herro and PJ Washington entered Kentucky folklore as the Wildcats survived and advanced with a 62-58 victory over the Houston Cougars.
While the win wasn't pretty, a win is a win. However, there are plenty of things to look at and learn from as we look forward to Sunday's game against Auburn.
Tyler Herro THE Hero
TYLER HERRO IS MY HERO #BBN
LET'S GO!!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/SckCBeScIT
— KY Insider (@KyInsider) March 30, 2019
After Herro only scored 9 points on 2-11 shooting, it was a good sight to see Tyler "Bucket" Herro back in full swing as he scored 19 on 7-13 shooting. Including the three to give Kentucky the lead with 25.8 seconds left.
After missing a free throw earlier in the half, Mr. Clutch went on to sink two free throws to give Kentucky a comfortable four-point lead with 15 seconds to go.
Herro took Kentucky fans back to Aaron Harrison's 2014 run with that shot and with that shot, he will always be remembered.
PJ Washington, We Don't Win Without Him
Before the game, there was still speculation on whether PJ Washington would play or not. On Friday, he was back in full form, and that foot didn't look to bother him one bit.
In two games without PJ, Kentucky definitely missed his offense. In his return, PJ played one of his most efficient games of the year. Coming off the bench and in 26 minutes, PJ recorded 16 points (6-8), 2 rebounds, and 1 assist.
After the game, Calipari noted that PJ didn't participate in pregame shootaround due to pain and was unsure if he was going to play. PJ wanted to play, played through the pain, and got two of the most critical plays of the game with the and-one and the block leading to Herro three.
In Calipari's postgame words, "we don't win without him [PJ]".
We don't win that game without @PJWashington fighting through pain to play today. HUGE.

Great Defense
In three NCAA tournament games, the Wildcats have yet to give up more than sixty points or let a team shoot over 40% FG from the field.
After limiting Flethcer "Oofer" Magee to 0-12 on three point shooting last weekend, the focus shifted to Houston's Corey Davis Jr. on Friday night.
Davis came into the game averaging 23.5 points and five made three-pointers in two NCAA Tournament games. Tyler Herro had another great defensive performance limiting Davis Jr. to just 14 points (5-16) and 1-7 from three.
On Sunday, the Cats will face off against the Auburn Tigers for the third time this season and will have to limit their guards, Jared Harper and Bryce Brown who have both played great since SEC play.
Rebounding Battle
Coming into the game, Houston was top-10 in every rebounding category and many had anticipated the Cougars to put up a fight on the boards, but that just wasn't the case.
On Thursday, Houston's Chris Harris, told Kyle Tucker of The Athletic:
"I believe that will be the game. Whoever wins the rebounding battle, that will be the game."
In the end, it wasn't too much of a battle and Harris' comments rang true. Kentucky's size was too much to handle for the Cougars as the Wildcats outrebounded Houston by 13 (36-23) and escaped with the win.
Offensive Struggles
Kentucky has played one and a half games of good offense in three tournament games and that needs to change in a hurry.
After putting up 37 points in the first half, Kentucky only scored 12 points in just under 17 minutes which allowed Houston to regain the lead down the stretch. Kentucky went on to score 13 points in the final three minutes to win the game.
Simply. that just can't happen again if the Cats want to win a national title.
On Sunday, the Cats will take on the Auburn Tigers for the third time this season and are playing their best basketball of the season. Auburn is a great offensive team, as they are ranked 6th in offensive efficiency and has scored 78 or more points in all three of their NCAA Tournament games.
Auburn truly lives and dies by the three. As we have seen in Kentucky's two games against Auburn this year, they can lose by thirty or win the game, there's no in between. Kentucky has to be ready for their best shot.
Survive and advance. The Cats are one step closer to Minneapolis.
What Are the "Experts" Saying: Kentucky vs. Houston
The 2019 NCAA Tournament is the chalkiest of all time and Kentucky will have to face at least a top 15 KenPom team from here on out. The Wildcats will have to bring their A game every time out if they want to bring home championship No. 9.
That journey continues tonight as the Cats take on a gritty and tough Houston team. The Cougars are in the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 1984, and while this isn't the same caliber team as the Phi Slamma Jamma teams, they are capable of advancing. Let's look at what the experts around the country are saying.
Seth Greenberg: Kentucky
Jay Williams: Kentucky
Jay Bilas: With PJ: Kentucky; Without PJ: Houston
Dick Vitale: Kentucky
Scott Gleeson: Kentucky, Lose in Final Four to Virginia
George Schroeder: Kentucky, Lose to North Carolina in Elite Eight
Nancy Armour: Kentucky, Lose to North Carolina in Elite Eight
Eddie Timanus: Kentucky, Lose to North Carolina in Elite Eight
No. 3 Houston vs. No. 2 Kentucky (-3), 9:57 p.m., TBS; Houston 77, Kentucky 69
According to ESPN's BPI prediction, Kentucky-Houston will be the best matchup of Friday's games and Kentucky has a 62.5% of advancing to the Elite Eight. KenPom also gives the Wildcats a 58-percent chance of winning and projects a final score of 68-66.
Tonight's matchup is between two of the best defenses in the country. You can look here at the keys to the game. In the end, the team that has the best guard play and the best offensive performance will most likely survive and advance to the Elite Eight. It looks like most people, like myself, are taking THE Kentucky Wildcats
In case you aren't pumped up just yet, this should do the trick ?.

KY Insider Preview: Sweet Sixteen Edition
Kentucky will take on Houston on Friday, in a battle of the logos.
The Cougars are enjoying their best season since the 1980's and the "Phi Slamma Jamma" days. This Houston team is much different than the one that featured two Hall of Famers, Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olujuwan.
Instead this Houston team is undersized, gritty, and tough and will make their opponents fight for everything. Houston takes pride in their defense, as they rank No. 12 in defensive efficiency and is No. 1 in the country in opponent field goal percentage. Houston is a good team, but they have one big knock. The Cougars only have 1 win over a KenPom top-25 team, that win coming back in December against LSU at Houston.
This will be a gritty, tough it out type of game, let's look at Kentucky needs to do give themselves the best chance to win.
The Big Blue Nation got a well needed shot of good news when PJ Washington tweeted this video on Wednesday.

To me, when Calipiari retweeted PJ with an "uh oh", it confirmed that PJ will return against Houston. It doesn't make any sense to set the team and the fans up for something that's not going to happen.
In today's press conference PJ told reporters, "It's good, I feel good. It's about going out there and seeing if I can do stuff on the court". PJ participated in today's practice, and while the media was sent to the back during the Wildcat's contact drills, they were able to catch this video.

Calipari went on to tell reporters that doctors told PJ that he can't further injure himself by playing. Cal said, "If that were the case. I wouldn't let him play".
While there are still some question marks, I would be shocked if PJ didn't play on Friday.
Efficient Offense and Good Shot Selection
Against Wofford, Kentucky simply failed to execute well on offense for a majority of the game. Kentucky will be facing a much stingier Houston defense Friday night.
Kentucky is Top 25 in offensive efficiency and field goal percentage, and the Cats will need to display that. If PJ is on the floor this is a much easier task as he is able to space the floor and provide scoring that Kentucky didn't have the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
Tyler Herro will have a tough defensive assignment against Houston's Corey Davis, the Cougar's leading scorer. Unless he can match that defensive effort and hold Davis to single digits, Kentucky can't afford for Herro to shoot 2-11 again. There were too many times against Wofford that Kentucky just settled. While Cal will want to take advantage of Kentucky's size advantage, Kentucky's guard will need to produce more offense.
Guard Play
I am a firm believer in that this game will be decided by the guard play.
Houston has one of the best backcourts in the country with Corey Davis and Armoni Brooks. Davis and Brooks combine for an average of 30 points and both have made over 100 three pointers with over 38% 3P.
So far in the tournament Davis has averaged 23.5 points, 40.5% FG, 39% 3P. While Davis isn't shooting a great percentage from the field, most of his attempts are from three and he made seven
It's not just Davis and Brooks, one of Houston's biggest strengths is their depth, especially on the perimeter. Houston's guards account for 75% of their points, meaning Kentucky's guards will have to stay in front because of their quickness and stay home because of their shooting ability.
On the other hand, Kentucky's guards haven't played their best basketball in the NCAA tournament and they will need to step up.
One bright spot has been Ashton Hagans. Hagans biggest knock has been his turnover rate, which has improved in NCAA Tournament play averaging only 1.5 turnovers in addition to 8 points, 4 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1 steal. Not to mention, Jemarl Baker, who will likely see some more playing time and provide some shooting and defense.
If the Wildcat guards can outplay the Houston guards, Kentucky's chances to win look a lot better.
John Calipari's Kentucky teams have always been strong on the boards, and this year is no different. Kentucky is ranked 35th in both offensive and defensive rebounds per game.
It's not often that Kentucky faces a team just as good on the boards, but they will again on Friday.
Houston ranks top 20 in both offensive and defensive rebounds per game and are as tough and gritty as any team Kentucky has played this season. However, they aren't as good as keeping their opponents off the board ranking over 200th in the country in all rebounding categories.
If Houston's defense is able to limit Kentucky on offense, the Cats will need to crash the boards with a purpose and give themselves extra opportunities. With the size advantage, the Cats have no excuse not to capitalize.
While the Cougars don't shoot great from outside, they shoot A LOT from outside. If the Cats don't show up ready to play or the Cougars are lighting it up from outside, Kentucky could be in trouble.
However, Kentucky will have a substantial size advantage at every position, and will need to use that to their advantage on both ends of the floor. With PJ back in the lineup, I expect for Kentucky to have a much better offensive night. At this point in the season, the Cats are simply more battle tested than Houston.
According to Houston's Breaon Brady, Kentucky is "just another team. Everybody is hyping Kentucky, and we love that". I anticipate the Cats to respond on the court and show that they are more than just "another team".
Kentucky: 76
Houston:69
Takeaways from the McDonald's All-American Game
The 42nd McDonald's All-American game was played last night in Atlanta. Kentucky is no stranger McDonald's All-Americans, signing 33 since Calipari arrived in Lexington in 2009, the most of any school in that span. Last night's game featured two more committed Wildcats, Tyrese Maxey and Khalil Whitney, and two UK targets, Jaden McDaniels and Matthew Hurt.
Let's take a deeper look at one of the most enjoyable weeks in High School Basketball.
The Duo
Thus far, Kentucky is the only school in the country with more than one five-star commitment, the Wildcats have three. Two of the commits were featured in last night's game, Tyrese Maxey and Khalil Whitney.
Tyrese Maxey scored a team-high 13 points on 5 of 10 shooting, including 3 of 6 three-pointers to go along with a pair of steals in 19 minutes of action for the West. Whereas, Whitney, who also played for the West, didn't have his strongest performance finishing with only two points on 1 of 5 shooting in 15 minutes.
Maxey turned heads all week, and according to 24/7 Sports' Evan Daniels and Josh Gershon, was THE standout player.
"It's been a good week for 6-foot-3 combination guard Tyrese Maxey. Maxey showed up at the McDonald's festivities in arguably the best shape of his basketball career. He looks visibly quicker and showed a burst in the open court. He also impressed with his finishing ability going towards the goal. Maxey was effective using runners and floaters, and also used high glass finishes over bigger defenders at the rim. A versatile guard, Kentucky can use him on or off the ball, as he's playmaker that's equipped to score on handle on ball duties."
Whitney has a "dog mentality" and is excited to be a Wildcat, calling Kentucky his "dream school". Whitney brings elite level athleticism, power, agility and leaping ability and according to John Calipari, can be a "monster" on the defensive end.
Tyrese Maxey and Khalil Whitney could be an electric De'aron Fox and Malik Monk like duo and I am ready for it.
Tyrese Maxey and Khalil Whitney did their share of trash talking, particularly to Louisville commit, Samuell Williamson as he went on to say:
"Oh yeah, we've been going back and forth all week. I was telling them that we're going to come into Rupp Arena next year and get a win, but Tyrese and Kahlil weren't having that."
They weren't having that, Whitney went on to say "It'll be a fun matchup going against those guys next year", but when asked about who will win that matchup he said "Kentucky" with a grin.
Maxey was asked the same question and was insulted that was even a question.
"What? What kind of question is that?" he said. "Big Blue Nation, man."
Talking trash to "little brother" at the McDonald's All-American game isn't anything new. If you remember, the 2016 class that featured De'Aron Fox, Malik Monk, Bam Adebayo, and Sach Kileya-Jones took this infamous "L's down" picture.
Kentucky needs to add some more depth to next year's frontcourt, and last night there were two very worth UK targets that could fill that void, Jaden McDaniels and Matthew Hurt.
Both have been very quiet about their recruitments thus far, but we found out earlier this week Hurt had set a decision date.
While Hurt and his family have been quiet, they aren't afraid to talk about it.
Hurt will decide on April 19th between the four most successful progams in college basketball history in Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and North Carolina. While things look bleak for the Cats, Hurt's father said there is no current leader in his recruitment and that "they [Kentucky] haven't wavered in that at all. At all".
Contrary to Hurt, McDaniels wants to stay away from it and keep to himself, saying, "I just don't like talking about it, it's just something I don't talk about".
It certainly doesn't hurt that two Wildcat commits are making their pitches to the two in Atlanta, letting them know they can be a part of something special in Lexington.
Maxey and Whitney have tried to keep a balance of space and recruiting with the two and not to overbear them.
Maxey
"I know when someone has been annoying to me, so that's why I only hit him up every now and then. Like if there's a tweet that comes out or something that I see, when I see him in person, I'll just tap him and say 'Big Blue Nation', I try not to be overly annoying because I wouldn't like that."
"I'm recruiting both Matthew Hurt and Jaden McDaniels. Those guys are pretty chill with their recruitments. But they'll give me a couple chuckles, you know, I'll tell them, 'Hey, we can team up and win a national championship' and stuff like that. But they definitely tell me that Kentucky is a top option and we're just waiting to see their decision."
McDaniels and Hurt are two very offensively skilled big men, and adding just one to next year's class will definitely help make a case to put the 2019 class as one of Calipari's best at Kentucky.

Kentucky Exploring 2019 Graduate Transfer Possibility
This time last year, not many Kentucky fans had Reid Travis on their radar as a potential Wildcat and now he has helped carry the Cats to another Sweet Sixteen. While Reid Travis is not the most talented player on this year's Kentucky team, he may be the most important and has helped changed Calipari's mind about graduate transfers.
During his Monday call-in show, John Calipari talked about the idea of looking at more graduate transfers and while he is "hesitant" to recruit those from Mid-Majors he "would absolutely consider it under the right circumstances."
It looks like those circumstances may be right now, as Evan Daniels of 24/7 Sports and Jeff Goodman have both reported that Bucknell graduate transfer Nate Sestina will take a visit Lexington next Monday.
Bucknell transfer Nathan Sestina is taking a visit to Kentucky on Monday, he tells @247Sports. Averaged 15.8 PPG. Would be eligible immediately.
— Evan Daniels (@EvanDaniels) March 26, 2019
Bucknell 6-foot-9, 245-pound grad transfer Nate Sestina told @Stadium he will take a visit to Kentucky next Monday. Sestina averaged 15.8 points and 8.5 boards per game this past season.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) March 26, 2019
Sestina, a 6-9, 245-pound forward is widely considered as one of the top graduate transfers in the country. Sestina averaged 15.8 ppg (53.6% FG, 38.0% 3P, 80.8% FT), 8.7 rpg, and 1.1 bpg this past season for the Bison, earning himself Second Team All-Patriot League and Patriot League All-Tournament honors. In his four years at Bucknell, Sestina helped carry the Bison to three Patriot League regular season titles and two NCAA tournament appearances.
At this point it is unclear if Sestina has scheduled more visits, a good sign for the Cats going forward. If Coach Cal misses out on his top remaining targets and reclassification options, expect Cal to look more towards the graduate transfer possibilities.
Paul "Pistol" Washington Jr. is back.
Reports were released this morning that PJ Washington was in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Tuesday to revisit a specialist. While the specialist has not been confirmed, it looks like he was treated by Dr. Robert Anderson, who many regard as the "best in the business" when it comes to foot and ankle injuries. It looks like Anderson worked his Mr. Miyagi magic.
After being sidelined for nearly a week and a half with a sprained left foot, PJ Washington sent out this tweet.
While there has been no official news report, Swaggy Cal looks to have confirmed PJ's return in Calipari fashion.
Uh oh … https://t.co/laI5k6m1QY
— John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) March 27, 2019
The Wildcats made it to the Sweet Sixteen without PJ but they have definitely missed him, especially on the offensive end as he gives Kentucky another frontcourt weapon to use against the Houston Cougars on Friday.
PJ has shown the ability to do work inside and shoot it consistently from three. While the Wildcats will need to knock down shots from outside in this matchup, PJ's ability to cause problems down low is what may prove to be the difference.
PJ is feeling good, Cal is feeling good, and I am feeling good. Let's get No. 9!
ESPN Analyst Thinks PJ Will Be Back for Sweet Sixteen
The Kentucky Wildcats are looking towards the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, and at the moment that is without their star, PJ Washington. The people of the Big Blue Nation have been biting their nails and having sleepless nights since hearing PJ had sprained his left foot, was put into a hard cast, and was not cleared to play last weekend.
PJ is reportedly to have his cast cut off today and will be reevaluated. While there is no news on that front just yet, ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg, one of Cal's best friends in the media had some interesting comments during today's episode of his podcast, ESPN's Courtside with Greenberg & Dakich.
Seth Greenberg: "I think that they get PJ Washington back, which now all the sudden not only can he score no the block …"
Dan Dakich: "Are you announcing they got him back, or what are you saying?"
Greenberg: "I'm saying that my gut feeling is that he will make an appearance in the game."
Dakich: "So that means Cal [John Calipari] just text you?"
Greenberg: "No, no, no, no, I haven't talked to Cal about that … but I talked to some other people. So I think he comes back."
We will see if Greenberg is right soon, until then try your best to stay calm.
PJ Washington Injury Update, Just "Relax"
This a scene of the Big Blue Nation since news broke last week that PJ "Pistol" Washington had sprained his left foot and was put into a walking boot.
The Wildcats have since made it to the Sweet Sixteen but there is still no timetable for the star's return. PJ was put into a hard cast on Wednesday and was "scootering" around all weekend in Jacksonville. PJ went on to tell CBS sideline reporter, Jamie Erdahl, his pain was a "10" out of 10. While there is no doubt there is pain, he seemed pretty mobile on the sidelines and cheering on his teammates, which is a good sign to me.
With the current state of frenzy in the BBN there has been no shortage of speculation and rumors. PJ Washington's father, Paul Washington Sr. has one thing to say and wants "people to just relax. PJ will play when his body says he can play".
During his weekly call-in show on Monday, Calipari was asked if he had any update on PJ's status and he responded with "No". Calipari went on to add that the plan is for the cast to come off Tuesday and for PJ to be reevaluated, so we should get a clearer picture soon enough.
Over the weekend, Brandon Hall M.D., a sports injury specialist, gave his thoughts on Washington's injury saying, "Washington either has a sprain of one of the lesser ligaments in the foot or he has a Lisfranc injury from my best estimates".
On the hard cast:
"In my opinion, there really is no difference between the boot or the cast. With the knowledge that we do have, I can only guess they wanted to try everything possible, but in reality, the fact that he has a cast likely will have no ultimate effect on his return."
On when he expects PJ to return:
"He would be 2.5 weeks out for Sweet 16/ Elite 8 and 3.5 weeks out for the Final Four. If he has a typical foot sprain it is very well possible, he is ready for next week's games and highly probable for Final Four. If it is the Lisfranc ligament I would say it is unlikely that he is ready for Sweet 16 or Elite 8 but definitely possible for Final Four."
Read the rest of the article here: https://www.theinjurysource.com/single-post/PJWashington
PJ's father, Cal, and his teammates have all repeatedly said that PJ desperately wants to be playing in the NCAA tournament. There are two options, either he plays or he doesn't play, and at this point it's anyone guess. Let's all take a moment breath and say a prayer to the man upstairs until we hear something after the cast comes off.
2019 UK Target Matthew Hurt Sets A Decision Date
He looks good in UK blue ?
2019 five-star forward and Kentucky target, Matthew Hurt has set a decision date. Hurt announced that he will announce his college decision on April 19th, the day prior to his birthday.
"My birthday is on April 20 so I'm gonna do it the day before. I do not know where I'm going yet. The coaches have done a really good job of recruiting me; they haven't been over the top with it, and I appreciate that. I can only pick one school, and I know that I'll be happy with my decision in the end."
Hurt, a consensus top-10 recruit, is one of four players in the Top 20 yet to make a decision. While Hurt never made a final list of schools, Hurt told USA Today that he's "mainly focusing on" Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Kansas.
It's not very often that we see the four greatest college basketball programs all still in the running for a recruit with just under a month until the final decision date.
Kansas was considered the early frontrunner, but with the surrounding allegations and FBI investigation Hurt's family has seemed weary. As a result, it seems that Kentucky and Duke have picked up momentum in the last few months. As of now, Duke leads Hurt's 24/7 Sports crystal ball at 53%, including a prediction from recruiting insider Evan Daniels. Kansas is second with 42% of the predictions, and Kentucky has only been predicted by one writer.
Here is a short video of Hurt discussing what he likes about each school and his visits.
Hurt's father has said some things that should keep the Big Blue Nation positive.
"He's been a top priority — if not the top priority — for them [Kentucky] for over a year. And they haven't wavered in that at all. At all."
"I've seen things said like, 'Oh, I knew Matt wasn't going to go to Kentucky anyway.' Pardon my French, that's bull—-. Because, at the end of the day, that's information that's based on speculation. It's not coming from us."
I personally believe Hurt will either choose Duke or Kansas, but maybe Cal can pull a rabbit of his hat and pull one of the most offensively talented big men in the 2019 class.
Scouting Report: Standing at 6-9 200 pounds, Hurt has a very thin frame and surprisingly lacks length. Hurt is a very talented offensive player that excels when asked to stretch the floor and create off the dribble. Is crafty and has good passing ability. Needs to improve his motor and defense.
Takeaways from UK Pro Day
It's March and the Big Blue Nation's eyes are all on the basketball team, and deservedly so. However, the football team is coming off one of the best seasons in UK football history with the help of twelve potential NFL draft picks.
Last Friday, a total of sixteen former Cats participated in UK's 2019 Pro Day. The Pro Day was primarily for those that were either not invited or could not participate in the NFL Draft Combine. Josh Allen, Benny Snell, and the other six combine participants were there to support teammates.
While that was the plan, NFL Teams were still drooling over Josh Allen. Allen said that even though he did no performance drills, scouts repeatedly pulled him aside to have informal conversations and to get a better feel of Josh Allen the person and the football player. I mean how could you not draft that beast #1? Just look at his hands and strength
How the Allen family prepares for the NFL. pic.twitter.com/4ROmz5oC8B
— Nick Roush (@RoushKSR) March 22, 2019
Before the season started, NFL sources talked about how this Kentucky team had just as much NFL talent as any team in the country and that's still the case as all 32 NFL teams were well represented, including some big names such as Oakland Raiders GM Mike Mayock and Los Angeles Rams GM Les Snead.
With Allen and Snell sitting out, the rest of the Cats shined.
For CJ Conrad, UK's Pro Day was about more than just putting up numbers. It was about just being able to get back on the field after concerns that his football career might be over.
Conrad received a combine invite but before he was able to participate in any drills, Conrad was ruled out after a medical examination found what was thought to be a heart issue. Last Monday, Conrad flew to Boston for a second opinion and got the great news that he would be able to continue to pursue his NFL dreams.
After not being able to work out for nearly three weeks, Conrad chose to not go through the entire "underwear olympic" regimen and instead just performed catching drills. Conrad was okay with that saying, "It really tested me a lot, but just to be out here with my teammates and all that, it's meant everything."
Conrad will continue to prepare for the NFL Draft in April and will hold another Pro Day on April 8th, where he will be joined by Mike Edwards who sat out due to a hand injury.
Chris Westry
Westry was the only eligible UK defensive back not invited to the Combine and with his performance on Friday, they might have regretted that decision.
Westry measured at 6-foot-4, posted a 38-inch vertical, and ran unofficial 4.31-second and 4.37-second 40-yard dashes. For comparison, Westry's forty time would've been second among all defensive backs at the Combine and was as fast or faster than every wide receiver.
The performance wasn't a surprise to Mark Stoops saying, "Chris Westry ran a great time, of course he was the only DB not invited to the Combine, and he lights it up here today"
Here is a clip from the Cats going nuts when Westry recorded his 38-inch vertical.
Chris Westry wakes em up with a 38 vert. pic.twitter.com/pod8pE1MU6
— Jared Peck (@JPSaysHere) March 22, 2019
George Asafo-Adjei
Offensive tackle, George Asafo-Adjei undoubtedly had the best day of all the Cats participating on Friday and made himself some serious $$$.
Asafo-Adjei had 34 bench press reps, which would have tied him for second place among all offensive linemen at the NFL Combine. Asafo-Adjei's 30″ vertical leap would have placed him in the top ten at the combine. Most remarkably he was able to do something only four offensive linemen did at the combine, breaking the five-second mark in the 40-yard dash with a 4.93-second mark.
Here is a table of all the results from Friday's Pro Day.

Q: PhoneGap with BlackBerry gap_poll error When I start my application, I keep getting alerts popups that are related to PhoneGap: gap_callbackServer, gap_poll, getToken, etc...
And then finally the "gap_poll" error keeps appearing, and whether you press 'OK' or 'Cancel', it keep going indefinitely.
If I exclude "phonegap.js" from my pages, everything goes fine, except that I can't use PhoneGap abilities. Any ideas?

A: having the same error but I  just seem to have got past it now by making sure I was using the blackberry version of the phonegap.js file, - i had earlier just copied my android  project which of course had the android version.   The different platforms have different .js files.

Fifth of adults in England and Wales abused as children, figures suggest
Survey estimates 8.5 million adults experienced some form of abuse before age of 16

Experiences ranged from being threatened to rape, with an estimated one in 13 adults having faced sexual abuse. Photograph: Christopher Furlong/Getty Images
About one in five adults in England and Wales experienced a form of child abuse before they turned 16, figures suggest.
In the year to March, the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) estimated that 8.5 million adults aged between 18 and 74 had been abused before the age of 16.
Experiences ranged from being threatened as a child to rape.
The survey also estimated that 3.1 million were victims of sexual abuse before the age of 16 (2.4 million women and 709,000 men). This is equivalent to about one in 13 adults in this age bracket.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) examined existing data in an attempt to "provide a more complete picture" of the scale of child abuse in England and Wales for the first time.
Information on sexual, physical and emotional abuse as well as neglect experienced by children was gathered from a range of public bodies to produce the findings.
The information from the crime survey estimates the prevalence of adults who experienced abuse before the age of 16 but does not measure the "current level" of child abuse in the country, the ONS added.
Figures were compiled using information from government departments such as the Home Office, the Department for Education, the NHS and officials in Wales, as well as the National Crime Agency and organisations such as the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
According to the research:
There were 19,847 counselling sessions given to children by Childline in the UK where abuse was the primary concern in the year to March.
At the end of March, 49,570 children in England and 4,810 children in Wales were looked after by their local authority because of experience or risk of abuse or neglect.
About one in seven adults who phoned the National Association for People Abused in Childhood helpline said they had not told anyone about the abuse before.
About half of adults (52%) who experienced abuse before the age of 16 also experienced domestic abuse later in life, compared with 13% of those who did not experience abuse before the age of 16.
Alexa Bradley, of the Centre for Crime and Justice at ONS, said: "Child abuse is an appalling crime against some of the most vulnerable in society, but it is also something that is little discussed or understood.
"Today's release is ONS's first attempt to fill an important evidence gap on this critical issue.
"Measuring the extent and nature of child abuse is difficult because it is usually hidden from view and comes in many forms. Bringing data together from different sources helps us better understand both the nature of child abuse and the potential demand on support services."

Towie's Tommy Mallet reveals he's lost two stone in six months after girlfriend Georgia Kousoulou keeps him off the burgers.
The reality star is currently enjoying a sun-soaked breakaway to Mexico with his other half TOWIE star Tommy Mallett has revealed he's shed an impressive two stone in six months – and he has his girlfriend Georgia Konousoulou to thank.
And while he revelled in his announcement, girlfriend Georgia couldn't help but mock him and joked that her ban on burgers is what's keeping him trim during their break. Posing in her colourful high-waisted bikini, the 27-year-old copied Tommy's pose and wrote: "Cancel the burgers his on a diet @tommy_mallet! "Hard rock in rivieramaya have the best food".
The ITVBe stars are currently enjoying an idyllic breakaway to the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya resort in Mexico. Their beaming appearance comes after Towie bosses axed TEN stars for new faces earlier this week. The Sun exclusively revealed how popular characters have been shown the door in the ITVBe show's biggest ever cull.
But it's not all bad news, as popular Towie star Chloe is bringing her sister onto the show when it returns for its 24th series. A spokesperson for the show said: "Demi will be appearing in the forthcoming series.
Demi originally made an appearance on the show in 2014 during an episode in series 12 and then appeared again on the show last year. The latest news comes as it's revealed that high profile cast members like James Locke, Myles Barnett and Jon Clark have been given the boot.
Jon's brother Chris, Kady McDermott, Dean Ralph, Jordan Wright, Yazmin Oukhellou and brother Adam were also given the boot after failing to impress producers who want to make room for new faces. Chloe Lewis has mutually agreed with producers that she won't be returning as a full time cast member.

WOOP generates 1 million brand advocacy actions in its first year
WOOP has generated 1 million brand advocacy actions in the form of meaningful reviews, recommendations and referrals, and 50,000 consumer conversations for its 20+ clients in just one year
October 26, 2018, 17:00 IST
WOOP, the value exchange platform that allows brands to build their own community of brand advocates at scale, while helping women contribute to a cause they most care about - girl child education is celebrating its one year anniversary.
Launched in mid-2017, WOOP is part of the most widely used global word of mouth marketing leader - Advocacy. With over 50 million actions completed for brands across 25 countries in over 15 languages, this multiple award winning company launched its proprietory technology via WOOP in India to help engage Indian consumers deeper and create authentic advocates at scale.
In just one year, WOOP has successfully expanded its portfolio to engage with over 20+ clients. WOOP has been associated with Fortune 500 clients such as Philips Avent, Cipla, Glenmark Pharma, Abbott, Kimberly Clark, Eureka Forbes, Kaya, JCB Salons, Swiggy, MamaEarth, 18 Herbs, Nobel Hygiene, Merck and many others.
Women across age groups and demographics join WOOP for its content-sharing formats, recognition programs, experiences and the opportunity to do something good. The more time a woman spends with brands on WOOP, the more money she generates for girl child education. Every 500 points earned on WOOP generates enough funds for 1 day of primary school for a girl child via WOOP's Charity partner Nanhi Kali (part of the K.C. Mahindra Education Trust). Till date WOOP has helped create over 1.6 lakh school days.
Speaking about WOOP's first year, Ms. Rashi Mittal Nair, Co-Founder & CEO, WOOP, said, "Over 50 million women in India spend more than an hour every day on social channels, sharing their views and updates with friends. Having adopted the digital landscape, brands are scurrying to find newer means to interrupt and capture the attention of millions with digitals ads and paid influencers, but most often are faced with low engagement levels. WOOP helps to bridge the gap by providing brands a platform to be a part of peer-to-peer conversations of real women, and deepen their engagement with every-day influencers and brand advocates. Backed by the knowledge that people trust recommendations from friends and family 2.5 times more than advertising, WOOP is aiming to grow our community size to 20 lakhs by 2022, and help educate over 70,000 girls. We are in talks with several investors across the country to raise funds to take us to the next phase of growing our product and community offering. "
Speaking about their association with WOOP, Ketan Mohile, Category Director, Cipla Health said, "We use WOOP to drive awareness and trials for two of our brands - immuno boosters and daily calcium. WOOP has built a community of everyday influencers that has helped us grow consumer trust in the most authentic way for our new products. With WOOP we have been able to drive meaningful advocacy in a measurable and scalable manner. Advocates have generated over 7 conversations each, thrown parties for the brand, sold tubs to other moms and lots more! The plan is to build our own community of Cipla Health advocates that keeps growing with time - ideally making it a separate media channel in itself."
Speaking about WOOP, Ms. Sheetal Mehta, CEO, Nanhi Kali, said, "It's a great platform where the women of opinion of today are creating women of opinion of tomorrow. Everybody wants to do good, but they don't know how to do good. On WOOP, women are engaging with the brands by giving their time and are also able to help support education of girl children. WOOP makes doing good easy and rewarding. It's great to have a partnership like this."
Adding his thoughts on WOOP, Arvind R P, Vice President and Head – Marketing at Kaya Limited, said, "Word of mouth is by far the most powerful driver of new customers for Kaya. WOOP provides us a structured and scalable model to motivate our customers to recommend friends and write online reviews of their experience. We have seen a very significant increase in online reviews after the WOOP engagement. Another advantage of this model is the direct link between consumers doing actions and helping Girl child Education. The transparent social cause linkage elevates the engagement on WOOP beyond transactional rewards and builds positive associations with our brand."

The Story Of An American Family During World War II - In Their Own Words
by James K. Thome
Grand Rapids, 4, Mich., March 20, 1945. Dear John: We have just received a telegram from the War Dept. as follows: The Secretary of War desires me to express his deep regret that your son, Flight Officer Robert F. Herrmann, has been reported missing in action since Two March over Germany. If further details or other information are received, you will be promptly notified. J.A.Ulio, The Adjutant General. I have been very anxious about Bob, not having heard from him since March 5, and that letter was dated Feb. 23. Just about that time I had such a vivid dream about my grandmother, who has been dead for almost thirty years. She was dead, and there no casket, etc. I thought then, I should have a Mass read for her, but she was such a very religious person, I have been thinking of her as being in heaven, long ago. As soon as we have any more news, will let you know. So we'll pray harder than ever, and maybe we might hear that he is a war prisoner. So goodbye for now, Love from Mother.
Publication Date : 12/1/2020
Letters From Home consists of a collection of original letters. The people who wrote the letters were Americans, most of them members of an extended family. They were written during World War II, from 1943 to 1945. The letters in this book contain the thoughts, concerns, hopes, dreams, worries, and anxieties of Americans during World War II, in their own words. There are many individual stories within the letters. Those stories describe not only events and places, but people who endured and triumphed during a very difficult and historic time.
Jim Thome is a retired attorney and Army veteran. He practiced law throughout the state of Michigan for more than 40 years. He is an avid student of history. While he has authored several articles for legal publications in the past, this is his first book for general consumption. Almost all of the material in the footnotes and commentary in this book comes from the author's personal knowledge and experiences. He decided to create Letters From Home to honor those who endured many hardships during World War II and to educate current and future generations about the sacrifices they made.

Several years ago it was time for my high school reunion. I told my husband that it was easy to believe I had graduated from high school 20 years ago, but that it could not be possible that I had started college 20 years ago. Of course, those two events were only three months apart. My husband told me I felt that way because I had never left college – which is true of course.
A lot has changed since I headed off to college. Of course I didn't bring a computer. I was thrilled to bring a graduation present – a Smith-Corona portable electric typewriter with exchangeable ribbons like the one below. You could swap the ribbon cartridges for different colors but the best part was the option for a correction tape cartridge – so much easier to fix mistakes! One of my suitemates brought a small TV – black and white – which was a rarity since most of us went down the hall to the lounge to watch TV. My orientation session was a group meeting and an advising session (at least that's all I remember). It certainly was not the comprehensive program that is standard today.
On the other hand, there are some things that haven't changed. Students still wonder about their roommates, about their class schedule and whether or not they will be successful academically and socially. This month, new student orientation season begins on the 40 Acres. The Class of 2017 will show up, several hundred students at a time. Many of them will be with their families to start the process of becoming college students and Longhorns.
This year, just like last year, everyone involved in orientation will be working to set an expectation that the normal trajectory for our students is to graduate in four years. It's an important message for our students to hear. And while we all know that many life events can make that goal challenging for our students, it is important that we help set four-year graduation as a goal. There are other important messages as well: be safe, choose wisely, get involved. The information to share with these new students is nearly endless. The many staff members involved in orientation have a huge job in helping students get off to a great start.
While many Student Affairs staff members have formal tasks at orientation, all of us have a role in welcoming our newest students to campus. As a Division, our vision is to be a leader in creating a campus culture that engages all students and inspires them to change the world.
So, as you see orientees, please take time to greet them. If you see families standing at a campus map or looking lost, please stop and offer to help them. Remember to wear your nametags when you travel across campus; it signals that you are a member of the university community and makes it easier for someone to approach you and ask for help. We all contribute to the campus atmospherewith every interaction we have each and every day. Much has changed since I went off to college, but new students still feel lost on a large campus and a friendly face can make all of the difference.

The Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt, Live on Fair Game
You'll find a lot of material from Stephin Merritt projects in our archives. Here's more. The Magnetic Fields' brainchild was recently in the Fair Game studio with Faith Salie, and played these songs, which aired yesterday, acoustic, with no distortion.
Stephin Merritt - Live on Fair Game (aired 2-26-2008)(mp3s):
This Little Ukelele
The Nun's Litany
Get Distortion
Okay - Huggable Dust: The Smudge Review
The title of Okay's latest album is Huggable Dust, an unsubtle expression of the impermanence of mutual love, or rather, the condition that remains when love endures when that which is loved disappears.
And Marty Anderson bares his heart without hesitation, in the first song, My (mp3):
More than you know
more than I can show
it's my heart
and i start speaking too soon
when I look at the moon-
light on your face
Then, in Only, he gives himself away to what might have been lost. A female voice in the phone introduces the song with "I'm going to give this a shot here. Here we go." And so begins a long-distance duet:
I want you to know that you're my only
I want you to know you're my life
I want you to know you don't got to be lonely
I want you to know it's all right.
And though some days are so long
And though some things turn out wrong
But oh that don't change where I belong, my love,
No, that don't change at all.
At the end of the song, the woman in the duet ends with a simple, devastating "Okay. All right. Bye."
The third song, Tragedy (mp3), establishes isolation, after opening with an ominous march:
This boy
He really wanted this girl
But he didn't have the time.
I want into your world
But he said this world is mine.
These verses repeat throughout the song, with variations, as layers of sound build to an incredible climax.
Anderson uses these devices throughout the album, and the result is a powerful sense of a fortress of sound being built around the listener, voices forcing their way in - in Loveless, he repeats "I can't get you out of my head," as everything else is shut out. As the intimate and spare give way to lush musical atmospheres, Anderson paradoxically contains the mind, keeps it in a box and focuses it on its obsessions and possessions.
And so, in that, these warped lullabys that twist traditional forms of folk, blues, even doo-wop into little black holes that assimilate them with homemade electronic effects into a singularity, are entirely original, inventive, and entirely Marty's own territory, and every single one of these songs is as captivating as a shifting night sky.

Saint Bernadette
On Saint Bernadette's forthcoming EP, I Wanna Tell You Something, Meredith DiMenna starts where she left off - in the ballroom, for the first few verses of the opening song - but she doesn't keep us there for long. Before you can say "chanteuse," she blows a storm up through the pipes, channeling Ann Wilson and Grace Slick, and drags us squarely into the barroom. She accuses, pleads, despairs, and manipulates; she leaves us breathless.
Love is a Stranger follows the loud-quiet-loud formula, but it's a fresh variation, with harmonized whispers and expertly built tension in a study of anxiety and unease.

Yelle on Fair Game
Yelle more, more, more
When I say "Brittany," what do you think of? The first thing that comes to my mind is Brittany, France, the place that pop phenom Yelle calls her hometown. Faith Salie introduced her in a live in-studio performance on Fair Game today. Sample these two French pop nuggets, and you'll be smitten. Love how she mixes heavy textures with ethereal ones in Les Femmes, and the chord changes in Tristesse/Joie are just right.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - 100 Days, 100 Nights, Live on Letterman
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings performed on Letterman last night, and it was, as Dave put it, "tremendous." The band must tire of playing this song, over and over (and over), but they don't show it. They put so much physicality into their performances - they play their songs as though this is the last time they're able to, every time.

The Raveonettes' Lust Lust Lust: The Smudge Review
I recall looking at the cover of The Raveonettes' debut, Whip It On, a few years back, and thinking that Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner look trendy and harmless, the kind of couple that you might find lurking the aisles at IKEA. You'd think they would sound more like John & Yoko than Thor, the Norse God of Thunder. The feedback scream that introduced the first song, Attack of the Ghost Riders, was evidence that the demure couple had harnessed the powers of darkness and weren't afraid to unleash it on the unsuspecting listener.
After their black, dressed-in-B-flat-minor debut, The Raveonettes have increasingly crept toward pop, surf rock, and bubblegum, with rough edges, of course. Their latest album, Lust, Lust, Lust, carries over these elements - it still has the hooks and beats, but it also brings back tsunamis of noise and fury. There's danger in this - throwing all of your tricks together simultaneously, even in the era of the mp3 single, can yield an unfocused mess of an album. The risk pays off on Lust, Lust, Lust - in its quieter moments the songs groove and strut, and they gain momentum and force when the guitars blast through in dissonant sonic bursts.
Aly, Walk With Me, the album's opener, is just as much an announcement of impending devastation as Attack Of The Ghost Riders was on Whip It On. The wall of feedback is patient, though - after two minutes of slinky vocals set over a sexy bass line, a la Love & Rockets, and just when we start to wonder where the song is taking us - where are we taking Aly? - the demonic guitar noise swoops down and takes us like an evil surprise.
Hallucinations begins with innocent girl-band vocal melodies and simple but beautiful surf-guitar harmonies, and a soaring guitar melody with searing feedback in the foreground that comes in at the minute mark. It finishes with a pulsating beat propelling waves of distortion and that same repeating melody, perhaps a proper salute to Jesus and Mary Chain.
Dead Sound also features the girl-band vocal melodies, but is more uptempo, and the high point of this one, for me, is the flatpicking and countermelodics in the interplay between guitar and bass that come in at around 2:10, and the way it closes with that perfect little high bend at 2:30.
The same plucked-note flatpicking returns in You Want The Candy, a raucous romp about desire that leads into the equally raucous Blitzed, which blends 50's guitar styles with the Raveonettes' own noise rock.
One final thing - you might have heard the stripped, acoustic versions of Dead Sound, Lust, and Aly, Walk With Me. They hold together nicely, even without the guitar acrobatics and dynamics. To paraphrase The Cars' Ric Ocasek, a good song is still good, no matter who plays it or how it's played. Lust, Lust, Lust is an album full of them. Now, the question for the duet is: what's next?

Nada Surf, Live on KEXP, 1-30-2008
Nada Surf's fifth album, Lucky , is out next week. Its lustre reflects the band's experience and comfort level, with lush arrangements and dense layers adding dimensions for deeper listening. Lucky for us, the new ingredients - cellos, horns, etcetera - add to the songs, rather than cover up for something missing. Remove the frills, including the guest vocals by Ben Gibbard, from the opening song, See These Bones, and it still reaches euphoric heights despite the charged lyrics: try as they might, no one's immune to/misfiring and acting on the wrong clues/always thinking it's time to redo and redo. Don't take my word for it - the band played an acoustic set for KEXP on Wednesday, and the songs, stripped down, have all the force of the originals.
